That is wild, never seen or heard anything like that before. I guess I would put that in the category of just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done!

I can see it being useful. I am assuming that the Dolly has a braking system. Without that there is no way that a bike can stop all of that weight. I would rather see the tow package on a trailer. I can't imagine all of that high, rearward weight being good for balance on the way to a call when some jackhole decides since he isn't moving he needs to block your path too.

A novel idea in those few circumstances where a normal tow truck could not access.

I am haunted with a few engineering questions:… What about braking? (I suspect, you meet the nicest people on a Honda, but can the Honda's brakes handle that kind of load?)

Clutches. I'm of belief that most motorcycle clutches are a little sturdier than it's ability to pull it's own weight be you a chubby bunny with equally shaped passengers…. but to tug along an additional 3000 lbs, might need some mods to the tranny and clutch packs?

Like most tow trucks, they can back the downed vehicle into a spot, stall, or location. Can this rescue bike do the same?

It's a novel idea, and fun to watch… but it's engineering questions that have prevented me from making a 5th wheel hitch on the back of my Boss Hoss where by I could effectively tow a 35 foot Jay Feather holiday trailer… Hmmmmmm…. THAT gives me an idea…
